NOTE: The following
planetary aspect delineations APPLY TO ALL SUN SIGNS.
Only
major aspects between the sun and planets are included here.
All lunar aspects (other than full and new moons) have been omitted,
hence there is not an entry for every day. Aspect patterns frequently
overlap; where there are several major aspects occurring on the same
day, synthesize their combined characteristics to determine the overall
trend, then act accordingly. But remember...YOU
make the final call! An aspect's influence can last from a day or
two, in the case of Mercury, Venus, or Mars, to several weeks and
even months when the slower-moving 'outer' planets are involved. Times
given are when aspects peak. In addition, planets periodically appear
to slow down, stop, then change their orbital direction, turning Retrograde
or Direct; these periods of apparent motionlessness are called Stations
and for a week or two either side of them, all themes associated with
the planet are greatly emphasized.
1 Venus trine Pluto retrograde 12:46am—Revitalize
financial or business practices; seek greater harmony in all partnerships;
an intense relationship could begin for some. Venus trine
Saturn retrograde 3:20pm—A sense of responsibility
prevails; implement ideas for organizing or stabilizing your business
affairs; constructive artistic work is favored.
2 Mercury enters Gemini 1:00pm (till July 10)—The
mind quickens, thoughts flow swiftly, constantly shifting, like
wind-blown desert sands; be sure to note all the good new ideas
that come to mind during this mentally fertile period; enroll in
an educational program. Saturn stations Direct 8:07pm, at
01°41'Virgo—What have you learned about your
ability to express your feelings effectively and honestly at home,
and in the workplace during Saturn's 4-1/2 months in review mode?
How have you responded to the professional opportunities or challenges
that have come your way? Tangible progress towards coveted career
goals may now become perceptible.
3 Mercury square Saturn 12:50pm—Deal with
tasks requiring great concentration; banish fleeting worries or
frustrations, just keep the mind focused on the job in hand; avoid
signing contracts or making deals for a few days.
5 New Moon 5:18am, at 15°22'Taurus—Assess
your need for material security...your "comfort zone"...how
much or how little money or "stuff" do you actually need
to feel comfortable? Buy new plants for your home.
9 Jupiter stations Retrograde 5:11am (till Sept 8) at 22°22'Capricorn—Exercise
more patience now in your dealings with others; resist a "holier
than thou" attitude, be more tolerant of others' beliefs and
philosophies. Mars enters Leo 1:20pm (till July
1)—Passions rise and physical energies are in high gear, get
plenty of exercise; express yourself creatively.
11 Sun sextile Uranus 9:32pm—Flashes of inspired
thought could reveal hidden goals or ambitions you didn’t
realize you’d harbored; seek creative ways to finance a project;
begin a new creative enterprise; take a vacation or get-away break.
12 Sun trine Jupiter retrograde 10:29am—Review
your educational goals or needs; plan a long-distance trip...perhaps
a quest, or pilgrimage in search of spiritual knowledge; foreign
investments and legal affairs can benefit from the foresight this
aspect confers; advertising campaigns and PR activities are favored.
Visualize very clearly what you want to manifest...you just might
get it!
14 Sun square Neptune 8:51am—Keep a firm
grip on reality now; escapist tendencies can lead the unwary astray;
fears, anxieties and insecurities are more readily elicited, as
confidence levels temporarily dip; guard against deception, particularly
in business matters; give artificial stimulants a wide berth; spend
some quiet time alone; read something mysterious or mystical.
18 Venus sextile Uranus 4:23am—An unexpected
social or business opportunity may occur; throw a party; a sudden
romantic attraction is a distinct possibility; people need more
"space" now. Venus trine Jupiter retrograde
8:18am—Social activities could be particularly stimulating;
financial and educational activities are supported; philanthropic
or charitable activities satisfy.
19 Full Moon 7:11pm, at 29°27'Scorpio—As
with April's Scorpio full moon, meditate on love, and be prepared
for what you value highly to be put to the test, including your
attachment to people, places, belongings or even habits; be honest
with yourself about your needs, and your means; safeguard your income
sources, and assets; passions and desires intensify; don't allow
a minor personal sleight, rebuff, or a challenge to your authority
to upset your equilibrium...chill out! Venus square Neptune
11:28pm—Goddess energies are strong; tune-in to the needs
and feelings of loved ones; money may come as a result of inspired
creativity.
20 Sun enters Gemini 9:01am (till June 20)—Increased
mental activity; begin a study program; become more aware of your
environment, and how you interact with it.
21 Jupiter retrograde sextile Uranus 11:08am—A
sudden fortunate opportunity could occur...at the very least, prospects
should look brighter; Fresh input stimulates change, and future
plans may require some adjustment; an innovative solution to a quandary
may be found.
22 Sun square Saturn 11:25am—The vitality
of the Sun is restricted by Saturn, indicating impatience and the
need to exercise self-discipline; this aspect can illuminate personality
flaws, to show where work needs to be done; duties and responsibilities
may weigh heavy; don't expect any favors from your boss or other
authority figure today; meditate on cheerfulness and joy; persevere,
as achievement comes now only through hard work and effort (is it
ever any different?); be kind to children.
24 Venus enters Gemini 3:52pm (till June 18)—
For the next twenty-five days, emotions are subject to being cold-processed
logically, via the mind, instead of percolating gently down to consciousness,
filtered through one's feelings; there’s a greater willingness
to travel in pursuit of pleasure and social activities; wit, charm
and the gentle art of conversation are hip.
26 Mercury stations Retrograde 8:48am, at 21°32'Gemini
(till June 19)—Plans or arrangements of any importance should
be implemented prior to this period...unless you like surprise endings!
However, while Mercury is retrograde, you may safely make revisions
or otherwise go over previously covered territory for inconsistencies
or errors. Neptune stations Retrograde 9:15am, at 24°16'Aquarius
(till Nov 2)—Unresolved issues, neglected feelings, and emotional
"undercurrents" [subconscious rumblings] from the past
may surface during the next five months, to be reviewed and reevaluated
for greater self-understanding. Venus square Saturn
10:10am—Spend some quiet time alone; a more serious than social
vibe pervades the ethers...taking care of business may be more of
a priority; work on ways to secure your cash flow.
